Bread upon the Waters

King Solomon said that if we cast our “bread” upon the waters, we will find it after many days. Something tells me he wasn’t extolling the virtues of soggy toast…although a good piece of sop with a beefy stew is one of greatest pleasures in this life. That and a nice MLT, to quote Miracle Max from The Princess Bride - mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomatoes are ripe. No, I’m pretty sure “bread upon the waters” is a metaphor. But what does it mean? And how can we apply it to working with struggling teenagers? On this inaugural podcast, we examine bread cast upon the waters. It may not sound all that appetizing, but we’re offering food for the mind – something to chew on, even if you feel like all your teeth have been kicked out.
